Aux Bons Amis

(
1 Rue de l’Atlas, 75019,
+33 142 084 144
) Head to this cheap and cheerful joint for
hearty portions and low prices. A good spot to catch up
with friends over steaming plates of couscous and grilled
meat. Be aware – payment is cash only.
Au Chien Qui Fume

(
33 Rue du Pont Neuf, 75001,
+33 142 360 742
) Expect to chuckle as you indulge on
oysters or foie gras in this wonderfully old-fashioned
restaurant. The high-spirited staff are very entertaining.
La Belle Hortense
(
31 Rue Vieille du Temple, 75004,+33 1
4804 7160
) Unwind with the latest novel, attend a reading
or enjoy a boozy, social evening out in this cosy wine bar-
cum-bookshop tucked away in the trendy Marais district.
Fortunately, the impressive collection of books all seem to
go rather well with the enormous wine menu.
Of course, January is a great time to hit the French
sales, which start on the 8th. If you’re willing to brave
the crowds, head to the
Galeries Lafayette
for some
serious bargain hunting.

Emily’s American Diner

(
4 Rue Pierre Duclot,
38000, +33 456 002 807
) If you want to eat hot dogs or
a very authentic Philly cheese steak sandwich alongside
jukeboxes and a Cadillac, this is the place for you. The
Hawaii burger (bacon, pineapple and honey-mustard
dressing) is salty-sweet heaven.
La Baratte
€€€
€
(
6 Place Championnet, 38000, +33 476 438 648
) This cute
restaurant keeps standards high with a small, weekly-
changing menu. The half-cooked tuna with pesto, and
passion fruit and mango eclairs are especially yummy.
La Gazzetta Caffé
(
1 Rue Colonel Denfert Rochereau,
38000, +33 4 7650 2224
) Reminiscent of an old Venetian
palace. This refined wine bar offers only around 20
specially selected Italian wines. Team a bottle of rossi
with a platter of Trento speck and buffalo mozzarella.

Catch this profound acrobatic performance
in memory of trapeze artist Fabrice Champion at the MC2
